Today I'll tell you a story about building a reverse proxy. Reverse proxy is like a wise and kind master, it stands between you and the outside world, responsible for receiving external requests and then send them to the internal server, just like a letter carrier to deliver the mail to the recipient, very amazing ah.

Reverse proxy port plus IP

First, we have to assign a port and IP address to the guru, which is like reserving a unique room number and address for a VIP. This port is like a phone number for the guru. External requests find the guru through this phone number, and then the guru forwards the request to the internal server, which is very convenient and fast.

Suppose we want to assign port number 8888 and IP address 192.168.1.100 to the master, then we can do it with the following code:

"`bash
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.100:8888.
}
“`

In this way, external requests will be proxied to the server 192.168.1.100 and use port 8888 to communicate, very convenient and fast ah.

Reverse proxy building

Next, we can start to build a reverse proxy server of our own. It's like building a bridge between the inner and outer worlds... very challenging!

First, we need to install Nginx, a masterful piece of software, which is like an ancient and powerful wizard that can help us build a solid and efficient bridge.

Then, we need to configure Nginx, specifying the port and IP address of the guru so that it knows where external requests should be sent. The configuration file is like a spell book for the guru, containing all sorts of arcane and esoteric knowledge.

Finally, we start Nginx, and as if waking up a sleeping master, it will begin to fulfill its sacred mission of connecting the inner and outer worlds.

With the above steps, we have successfully built a reverse proxy server that allows external requests to be delivered securely and efficiently to internal servers, which is a great thing.

Have you all been captivated by my story? Reverse proxy is like a powerful guru, it can help us build a bridge connecting the internal and external worlds, and make communication more convenient and secure. I hope my story can bring you a touch of fun and give you a better understanding of reverse proxies.
